The Scoda Aeronautica Super Petrel LS is an eye-catching design that is sure to turn heads wherever it lands, largely because biplanes are rare among the modern composite aircraft commonly found in the light sport category. The one-of-a-kind Super Petrel’s two-wing layout, which produces more lift but allows a shorter wingspan, helps it in several ways, from maneuvering into tight landing spots to fitting easily into small hangars.
The ability to operate from land or water gives the Super Petrel a significant boost in versatility that opens more destinations for exploration. The option of landing on water makes visiting remote beaches, islands and other interesting places relatively easy while amphibian capability lets pilots return to their familiar airports following trips into new territory. The aircraft’s performance makes it a good choice for travel.
This Super Petrel LS has 198 hours on the airframe and its 100 hp Rotax 912iS and DUC Flash-2 carbon composite propeller. The VFR panel includes a Garmin G3X GDU 460 Touch display
